Six to buy
Airtel Africa
Telecoms operator Airtel Africa sells mobile data and payments services across 14 African countries. It has “dramatically outpaced” the FTSE 100, returning 82% since it listed in 2019. Despite that it has “flown low under the radar”. The number of customers grew by 10% in the first half of the year and sales rose by 7%. There is vast scope for further growth: only half of adults in Africa have a mobile phone.
